WhatsApp adds memory feature to Meta AI chatbot

WhatsApp is introducing a new chat memory feature for its Meta AI chatbot currently available to select beta testers who can access it in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.11.13 update.

Meta AI has launched a new feature that allows users to directly teach the chatbot specific details about themselves, making conversations more personalized and useful. This capability is being rolled out gradually to more users following its initial introduction by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Now, if someone tells Meta AI that they are a graphic designer, the chatbot can remember it. Based on that, it can suggest tools for productivity, useful design software, or share updates on industry trends. This helps Meta AI provide more relevant and meaningful responses during conversations.

This feature is especially helpful for people who regularly ask for tailored advice. Over time, the chatbot can behave more like a smart assistant who understands user preferences and daily life.

Importantly, Meta AI will only remember information users choose to share. It cannot access or store data from other WhatsApp conversations, which remain protected by end-to-end encryption.

Users also have full control over what Meta AI remembers. They can check, update, or delete saved details at any time to keep their preferences accurate.

This move marks a step forward in making AI more interactive and helpful, while still keeping user privacy in focus. Meta plans to expand the availability of this feature to more people in the coming weeks.
